碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 森林學研究所 === 89 === Due to bigger modern day business; more complex products; dramatic risen in labor costs over the last few millennia; and, finally, the arrival of competition, modern day inventory control in wood products industry is different. Proprietors struggle with problems that are, in many respects, far more complex than the ancients ever imagined. The key to accurate inventories is to minimize the introduction of new errors while maximizing the rate at which existing errors are found and corrected. At the time improving the accuracy of inventory operations in order to boost the productivity and attain Just-in-Time approach, inventory movement is the source of essentially all error. Once inventory records are correct, they are unlikely to go bad until something moves. Therefore, if inventory movement can be controlled, inventory accuracy can be controlled. Through the error correction from cycle counting, inventory accuracy requires achieving extremely high levels of transaction accuracy. That is the transaction error rate must be controlled to a very small range. If we mechanizing the identification of things within wood products manufacturing facilities to the system, particularly with the use of electronic machines to collect the related data in collaboration with the validation technique and automatic identification technology, and, through computerized inventory system in transmitting and updating information, paperwork and delays have been eliminated. Accuracy is not being sacrificed because every step in the process is validated with bar codes. And, when inventory records are accurate, the number of exceptions will be small. Key entry relating to the picking function has been minimized. The result is error-free work and, therefore, error-free inventories.
